With regard to audio, "up to 10% of a copyrighted musical composition may be reproduced, performed and displayed as part of a multimedia program produced by an educator or student for educational purposes" ((http://www.umuc.edu/library/copy.shtml#whatis) "but no more than a maximum of 30 seconds."
after watching Heather's video, use your Flip to record an interview with a partner in this class (keep it short-- a minute or two at the most!!) about a good thing that happened to them today
watch a demo of how easy it is to download a Flip clip to ANY computer
Read this information on Story Planning to get good background information that will help you get ready to make your movie!
For those of you who would like a hard copy, (to be printed at HOME not in school!!) you can download this atomic_storytelling_guide.pdf!

Day 2----After you have your clips--organize your resources:
Copy your clips from the FLIP camera to a folder on your machine---best place for this and ALL docments associated with your project is the SHARED folder on the hard drive of a specific machine.
This means that you must use the SAME machine until your project is finished!
Copy any photos, images, PowerPoint slides you will use in the movie to your iPhoto application---make an album of these items for efficiency
Download any music you would like to use from our soundzabound.com subscription to your iTunes application
DRAG your video clips into the window shelf on the right side of your iMovie window
Make sure you know how to use your microphone/headset for recording and listening to your narration. Watch the demo on how to do this or view these videos on atomiclearning.com:

Day 5--Distributing your work
Once your movie is complete, you need to turn it into a Quicktime movie so it is in a format that most computers can play. This is not at all difficult! Watch this Atomic Learning video and follow the instructions with your own movie. (By the way, I can speak from experience that it is very hard to say one's movie is complete!! It has been my experience that most people want to keep tweaking!! Remember that this is your first movie and it will be wonderful, it does not have to be perfect! - It is almost impossible to get it perfect -- the more you watch it the more changes/tweaks you will want to make! Just let go!!!!!!)
That's step 1!! The video is now on the computer you have been working on. To share your movie with others, you need to post it to the web, burn a DVD, or do both!
To post it on the web, you can upload it to TeacherTube. (If you later find that you and your students will be making MANY movies, you can ask Ellen Robertson to set up a podcasting account for you where you can load all your videos into one area).
Log in to your TeacherTube account, and click on the Upload button. Uploading a file to TeacherTube is just like attaching a file to an email or your eBoard.
Once the file is uploaded you can send viewers to the link that TeacherTube provides you, or you can embed the video right into your eBoard!
To get the embed code, click on the 4th icon under your video -- as you hover over the icon it will say "Get Code."
If you need assistance with embedding your TeacherTube video into your eBoard watch this video.
To create a DVD of your movie
Watch this Atomic Learning video, then follow the instructions with your own movie. (Don't worry about creating chapter markers. They are not necessary with a 5 minute video.)
